There's an old adage in the culinary world that often gets overshadowed by elaborate recipes and intricate cooking techniques: simplicity is key. This philosophy's essence lies in letting ingredients' natural flavors shine through, unadulterated and unmasked by excessive seasoning or complex preparations. It's a principle that celebrates the purity and authenticity of food, reminding us that sometimes, the simplest dishes are the most satisfying. This restaurant has really made great foods simple with the natural beauty of the ingredients.

STARTERS: Bruschetta Board: I believe the highlight of this visit was the custom Bruschetta Board. You have a selection of 4. We picked Brie, Apple & Fig Spread, Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato, Smoked Salmon & Pesto, and the Chef's special, a Homemade Hummus topped with fresh Tomatoes.

First on the menu was the Brie, Apple & Fig Spread bruschetta. With a delicate balance of creamy brie, crisp slices of apple, and the sweet, jammy notes of fig spread, this rendition of the classic Italian appetizer was a revelation. The creaminess of the brie mingled harmoniously with the apple's tartness and the fig's richness, creating a flavor profile that was at once comforting and sophisticated.

Next up was the Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato bruschetta, a twist on a timeless combination. The creamy burrata, adorned with crispy bacon, peppery arugula, and juicy tomatoes, was texturally advanced but an amazing combination and contrast of flavors, with the smokiness of the bacon complementing the creamy richness of the burrata, while the freshness of the arugula and tomatoes added a burst of brightness.

Smoked Salmon & Pesto bruschetta: The delicate slices of smoked salmon, adorned with a dollop of vibrant pesto, danced atop perfectly toasted bread, creating a harmony of flavors that was both elegant and satisfying. The richness of the salmon was balanced beautifully by the herbal notes of the pesto, resulting in a dish that was as visually stunning as it was delicious.

Chef's special: Homemade Hummus topped with fresh Tomatoes. This bruschetta was a celebration of simplicity done right. The velvety smoothness of the homemade Hummus provided the perfect canvas for the bright, juicy tomatoes, which burst with flavor in every bite. A sprinkle of fresh herbs added a pop of color and freshness, elevating this seemingly humble dish to new heights.

MAIN ENTREES The Raspberry Chicken Salad presents a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, elevating the classic chicken salad to new heights. Succulent pieces of chicken mingle with a medley of ingredients, including crunchy almonds and pecans, crisp apples, and the distinct tang of gorgonzola cheese, all nestled atop a bed of fresh mixed greens. However, what truly sets this salad apart is the exquisite raspberry vinaigrette that drapes each ingredient in a symphony of sweet and tangy notes. Its vibrant hue hints at the burst of fruity flavor it imparts, perfectly complementing the savory elements of the dish. With each forkful, the palate is treated to a harmonious dance of savory and sweet, making the Raspberry Chicken Salad a tantalizing and refreshing choice for any occasion.

Prepare to have your taste buds transported to a realm of pure culinary ecstasy with the OMG Grilled Cheese.

But the indulgence doesn't stop there. Nestled between the layers of cheese lies crisp, smoky bacon, adding a savory depth that tantalizes the senses. As if that weren't enough, this grilled cheese masterpiece is served alongside a creamy tomato soup dip, offering the perfect accompaniment to the gooey, cheesy goodness.
